Todd, Our new gravity filler is a hit! In the short time we have had the unit we are seeing a 20% increase in through put. The unit operates better than expected. Our change-over times have been reduced to about 15 minutes, but more importantly, “dialing in” our fill weights takes only a few minutes. Products that were a struggle on our outdated overflow filler now run with efficient precision.
